Ive been talking to LOTS of breeders... most are 12 weeks (one even 20 weeks). Obviously I want my puppy to the healthiest (even my info books recommends 12 weeks). Im going to go see a puppy this weekend that im about 99% sure i want get... She had this as a one time litter (from family dogs) and akc.. etc... So I dont think she knows much on keeping them 12 weeks?? Right now they are 5 weeks... so she will keep them til 8.... but 8??
